sere not connected' with the army; had suggested divers plans which were calculated in - their opinion to do away with flog ging, and had expressed a wish that they should be tried by nffieers in the army. This was very well for them to advise, but he was convinced that they would divide the odium with those Officers if, on the trial of these plans, they were found not to succeed, and the army consequently get the character of being badly regulated. He would merely state one case which had often happened, and might recur still oftener. Suppose a private were to knock down a non-commissioned officer, was he to be put into confinement? no ; certainly not: his comrades would not be acquainted with his punishment, and he contended that corporal punishment was as much calculated to impress terror in the minds of the spectators as to inflict pain on the individual who was subjected to its operation. Another plan suggested by Honourable Members was to confine the prison ers to barracks ; this, he contended, was impracticable, be cause he believed even the Tower could hardly contain a single battalion in addition to the guard stationed there.— During the time of the riots in 1815, about the Corn Laws, he had the honour to command a battalion called out to quell the disturbance. There was no room for the soldiers in the bar racks where they were stationed, and they were obliged to lay down straw in the mess-room and in the kitchen.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Etoile, dated Thursday, March 9.) PAnis, MARcH S.—Yesterday the Baron de Pedra Bianca, appointed Charge d'Affaires from his Majesty the Emperor of Brazil to the Court of France, a; presented in that quality to his Majesty and their Royal Highnesses, by Baron de Lalive. The Austrian Observer announces that, accord ing to letters from Corfu, dated the 9th, the Creeks had succeeded, at the end of January, in throwing provisions into the fortress of Misso longhi, which has been defended with such re markable bravery and perseverance. On a first attempt their fleet was,repulsed, but the second time, the 27th of January, being favoured by the wind, they burnt a Turkish corvette ; and on the 28th, detached against the Turkish fleet six fire ships, which threw it into confuSion. The Greeks took advantage of this opportunity to land both provisions and ammunition at Wassiludi, in asmall island tinder the guns of Missolonghi. The accounts from Prevesa say, that on the 26111 of January great damage was done there by an earthquake. In order to destroy among the students at Tu bingen the recollection of the associations which have been prohibited, an ordinance of the King of Wurtemberg has just forbidden hats, caps, ornaments of pipes, &c., the colours of which recal the associations which have been dissolved. All such articles shall be forfeited, and the stu dent wearing them subject to 24 hours' imprison ment. (Frani the Courier Francais of );Wednesday.) TRIESTE, FEB. 6 2'2.—Accoulits from Corfu of the 12th of this month, which ore considered here as official, state that on the 3(1 of February a decisive action h had taken place between the Turkish fleet, commanded by the Capital' Pacha, and the Greek fleet under Miaulis.-- Among the Greek combatants was the brave Caharis. They succeeded in setting fire to three of the largest ships of war, a cut.do%vn frigate, and 11 smaller Turkish vessels. The Capital' Tactic, the remainder of whose fleet was much damaged, retreated from Wassiladi to Patras. Missolonghi is completely provisioned, and the ammunition of which the garri,on had made such good use, but which was nearly exhausted, has been replaced. Mr. Stratford Canning stopped three days at Hydra, where lie was received with the greatest honours. Prince Mauracordato, with whom he has had long conferences, went to meet him with a numerous suite. Immediately after the depar ture of the English Ambassador, a ilotilhi, armed and equipped at Hydra and Napoli di Romania, put to sea with 2,000 troops on board. It pro ceeded to Negropont, where, it is affirmed, a ge neral insurrection against the Turks had just broken out. Another division of 1,000 men has sailed for A thens, and it is to reinforce the corps of Colonel Fahvier. All the Greeks at Corfu were filled with joy, and congratulated each other on this good news. (Prom the Pilote.) FRIBURG, FEB. 27.—A discovery of great portance to the history of Switzerland is an nounced : it is a MS. lately found in the castle of Peguet, in the Canton de Vaud, which contains the most interesting particulars of the war be tween the Swiss and the Savoyards, and of the campaign of Henry IV. of Savoy. PAuts, MAIICII 7.—A gigantic project is said to have been formed by some mercantile houses at Milan. It is nothing less than to replace the long and difficult road over the Spulgen by a gallery through the foot of the mountain between Spulgen and Isola. According to calculations it would be a league and a half in length : a new idea is, to light it by gas. The Milanese houses are said to have written to the Government of the Grisons, which will do nothing till it knows the opinion of the Emperor of Austria. It is affirmed that , before the Petition on the subject was transmitted to the Emperor, subscribers to the amount of three millions of francs had been ob. tained. It is believed that five millions in all will suffice to execute this extraordinary project.

The weather yesterday was quite as warm as it usually is in the summer. At one o'clock the thermometer stood at 67 in the shade.

(Here follows an account of the measures adopted by the Government : of receiving bullion and foreign coin not legally current, in depot, .as.vecified In the decree already published.) The propriety of this' measure has already been proved to day, though no business was done, yesterday being Sunday. It is understood that by twelve o'clock •,o-day application had been made at the Chamber of Accounts, for about half the amount of the millions of florins, which shews that the measure was well-timed, though it is thought that the whole amount will not be required. Accounts from Berlin say, that the affairs of the house of Crcllinger are in a much better state than was apprehended, and that a dividend of BO per cent. may be expected.—(All genrcine Zeitung, 3farch 4.) By an arrival from Van Diemen's Land, Ho bart's Town Papery, to the 18th Sept., were re ceived this morning at the North and South Ame lican Subscription Room. It will be seen by our extracts from the Hotxtrt's Town Gazettc, that this infant, but rising Colony, has been sub jected to great inconveniences and privations, from the occasional scarcity,and consequent fluctuations in the price of wheat. Hitherto the population has been relieved by supplies from Sydney. It is however asserted, that Van Diemen's Land, will ultimately, become the granary ni the Aus tralian Colonies, from the superiority of its soil for the growth of wheat, which is of greatly su perior quality to any grown in the neighbouring Colonies:— (From the HOherr& Town Gazette.) A principal object of our colonial politics is the enormous fluctuation in the price of wheat. We have viewed, with no small degree of alarm, the late excessive price of thii neces4ary article of consumption. Providentially, we have many helps which will, we trust, avert any material distress. NVe have no want of butcher's meat at a moderate price. The late alteration in the duties of spirits have so affected the distilleries, that a great quantity of barley is now in the country, and a portion of that, mixed with the wheat, makes wholesome and even palatable bread—and our climate is at all times propitious to the growth of vegt4ables. But the late high price induces many to hoard up grain, in expectation of a still higher price, and who thus screw up the public distress to the highest pitch. We have received some small supplies from Sydney, but that Colony can never grow enough for its own consumption. The farmers there have, it is true, many resources which we have not ; they have maize, in particular, that excellent substitute ; fruits and vegetables in great abundance; and the season of harve t commences there at a much earlier period than with, us. Notwithstanding all this, however, Van Diemen's Land must always be the natural granary of these colonies; for their wheat is of a much inferior quality, and so Infected by the weevil, and other causes, that it can never be preserved through the circuit of one whole year. They may cultivate the vine, the cotton plant, and the sugar cane, to what extent they please ; still they must, from time to time, look to us to supply them with their bread and meat ; and though New South Wales were cultivated to its utmost limits, Van Diemen's Land would con tinue the great storehouse to supply it on all occasions of need— occasions which must occur the oftener, the more populous the country becomes. It is with the highest satisfaction that we inform the Public, that letters from London, of the 4th of March, to several re spectable Gentlemen here, from a quarter on which reliance may be placed, have been received, with the gratifying news that THIS COLONY IS MADE INDEPENDENT OF NEW SOITTII \VAL Es, and that several new appointments have in consequence taken place.—(Hobort's Town Gazette.) (From the ColonialTinacs.) The prisoners, 179, per the Medina, were landed on Wed nesday, and all assigned to the service of the settlers; a great number of applications were made for men. A tribe of natives, it is said, has been discovered at the dis tance of 4 or 500 miles up the river Brisbane, they are nearly white, clothed in skins, and superior to all other known natives of New Holland.—(Australlan.) SYDNEY NEws.—The outtit here of the French discovery ships will cost 10 thousand pounds : they will sail in a few days for Otaheite. His Excellency Sir Thomas Brisbane does not intend to proceed to England until his successor becomes in vested with the reins of Government. Wheat was selling nt per bushel; bread, at seven pence halfpenny per loaf. The bush-rangers over the mountains were very troublesome ; several parties of military were in pursuit of them. The inhabitants were in great alarm throughout the country by variou► other bandits. The late rains have been very general throughout the Colony, and many of the lower grounds are under water. We are happy to say the Duchess of Gt.on. CESTER is in the enjoyment of much better health than her Royal Highness possessed some titne since. On Thursday, dispatches were received at the Foreign Office, from Pads. Yesterday Lord BEXLEY and Mr. IlusKissoN transacted business at the ,Foreign Office.

PLYMOUTH NAVAL CLUII.-00 fru( slay a l ar:e body of those men who were wont to give impulse to th e woo d en walls of Old England, assembled at 'Whidelon's Roy a l Hotel, to celebrate the anniversary of their day off Cape St. Vincent, in 1797. The force of the English in this remarkable engage. meat was beyond all example numerically inferior to that of the enemy—fifteen opposed to twenty-seven, and many of the latter very heavy ships; the Santisaima Trinidada, in particular, is reported to have carried 140 guns. Nothing but the critical state in which England was at that moment placed could, or ought to have induced her Admiral togive battle to a foe so numerou cand Sir J. Jervis alludes to this in his memorable dispatches ; yet with a just confidence in his cause—in the valour of his officers and men—and with a perfect and cheering reliance on the disci pline of the fleet he so ably commanded, he broke into the centre all Europe, an d was of the en em y' s li ne, an d ac hi eve d a vic t or y which astonished productive of the most important conse. quences. Our universally respected Admiral of the port, Sir James Saumarez, was unable, from indisposition, to take the chair,as had been arranged,and he therefore requested Vice. Ad. miral Bedford to preside for him. It is almost unnecessary to mention that Sir James commanded the Orion in this action, anti that (very small as she was)she took positions most galling anirdestructive, under the stern and quarters of the Salvador del Mundt). At the us ua l hour nearly fifty gentlemen sat down. Among the guests were s evera l di s tinguished military and civil officers, the lioa. Captains Aylmer and Dundas, Mr. Wright, Collector of the Customs, &c. The evening was en livenened by fine music from the band, and choice glees from professional men, and the party broke up about one o'clock.— (Deeonport Telegraph.) DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

SOLE.II QUis DICERE FALS(I3,I AUDE4T? LONDON, S.ITURD•AY EVEXING, iIIARCH 11, 1826. The Altgemeinc Zeitung of the 441 March, re ceived this day, brings distressing accounts of the commercial embarrassments which it has been our reluctant duty, for some time past, to re cord. The distress in England has spread itself through the Continent, and Germany is now ex periencing numerous melancholy failures, as will be seen by a perusal of the subjoined extracts. The house of Heitz (the chief part. tier of which is related to Mr. C. IloTnscutr.n, and whose daughter was betrothed to M. GOLD smtcnor, of London) has suspeude4 payment. The recital of the conduct of Mr. llan a on this occasion will be read with interest, as furnish ing a bright example of mercantile integrity, and highly honourable feeling. The Governments abroad are taking measures to afford such relief to commercial interests as they can, by re ceiving bullion and foreign coin, not le ,ally current, in deposit, and this has to a certain ex tent lightened the extremity of the pressure, und produced so far, some beneficial consequences :-- FIIANKEORT, FEB. 24. The great and general commercial crisis, which has affected the principal places in Europe, natiir,illy had soma influence here, thOugh, on the whole, the result has tended to confirm the solid credit of our great homes, and of our city in general ; even the fall of the French Funds, and the great bankruptcies at Berlin and Leipsic, bad not materially affected our Merchants. But the failure of the house of Goldschtuidt seems to have been a severe blow. The great house of Herz (the chief partner of which is father-in-law to M. Charles Rothschild, and one of whose daughters was betrothed to M. Coldschmidt in LOndon) was obliged by that failure to suspend his payment's for a time. The general esteem and great credit which the house enjoyed increased the consternation which its fall must, In every:case, have excited. The chief partner acted on this occasion, as a very decided and honourable man. On the same day that the news of the failure of Goldschmidt arrived, he was to give a grand dinner, to which the whole of the diplomatic body, the most eminent merchants, and several members of the Senate, were invited, instead of taking advantage of this favourable opportunity (as has been done in other cases) to implicate others in his fall, he immediately countermanded the dinner, discharged his servants, between 30 and 40 In number, sold his carriages and horses, and, with the jewels of his wife and daughters, and other effects of great value, hastened to M. Rothschild. The latter, inconsequence of the negociations entered into with him, afterwards declared that he would ho nour all bills on the house of Herz. Though the bankruptcy of that house is therefore to be considered as not having abso luLly taken place, several houses have since stopped payment, but all our great merchants have perfectly maintained their ground. IlEurax, FE n. 25. The occurrences on our Exchange, in the course of last month, were the prelude to a far greater calamity, which, especially at the beginning of this week, assumed a very threatening appearance. The preceding misfortunes were indi vidual, and the inevitable consequences of slight variations in the funds, and in the credit of the persons themselves. But the evil latterly attained' to such a height, that the most solid property was in danger, and the best houses shaken.— The fall of a Leipsig house, whose establishment here two years ago gave the signal for the promising amelioration in the funds which took place at that time, was the chief cause of sltewitig us an image of the panic terror, of which all the mercantile letters' from England are full. Soon afterwards come accounts of the danger, and lastly, of the failure of the house of B. A. goldschmldt, which added greatly to the consternation of our merchants, till the accounts from London of t h e 17 t h, an d the satisfactory appearance, of the Ilantburgh Exchange afforded some relief. Since yesterday a considerable improvement has taken place, especially i n t h e Prussian Funds. Some hundred thousand dollars, employed in a liberal manner, so that it looked like a government men, sure, in the purchase of Prussian paper currency, produced a rise from 3 to 4 per cent., and there is every reason to hope that the improvement will not'be for merely a moment. PHANEPORT, Fen. 27. The embarrassments of our merchants in consequence oftho eommercial :;hock, are, it is true, not wholly recovered, but the measure adopted by the Government in conformity with the wishes of the tnerchants, promises to rovent any farther Cates. trophe, so that Frankfort, will, perhaps, remain as an honour-' able exception among the great commercial cities st this 'event.

The late advance in Consols, from 76f, is now generally ascribed to the sudden purchases by the Bears, who, under the influence of panic, rushed in as buyers, to turn their ac counts.
